about

A tribute to the beauty of an aging woman.

lyrics

My body was a sailboat

A shelter from the storms

For some little travelers 

Making their way home. 


And now my frame is bowed
From many stents at sea, 


But he think I'm beautiful, 

And he's beautiful to me.


My hair has strands of silver, 
Each one plays a note.

They contain the melody

Of all the songs I wrote 


And they blend together in perfect harmony. 



But he thinks I'm beautiful,

And he's beautiful to me.





I’ve got lines across my face

Places I've been torn

I welded the broken pieces, 

Stronger than before. 



Not everyone who looks has the right eyes to see,
But he thinks I’m beautiful

And he’s beautiful to me.
